About an hour ago (11pm.eastern time) I saw something that was very out of place and suspicious, but before I tell you I want to hit you with a few facts first.
1. there has been reporting of crime around my campus this month and to be careful.
2. there has been about 5 rapes from September till now
Ok with those 2 facts in mind hear this......
I went downstairs to the computer lab in my dorms lobby to print out a paper. As I am going back to the elevator to go back to my room, this girl sprints as fast as she could into the elevator, frantically pressing the buttons to her floor and to close the elevator door. I was much closer to the elevator than her and she managed to beat me into it that's how fast she ran into it. So we are in the elevator and I notice first she has no coat (its 10 degrees outside) she is covered in snow (Its not snowing today) she has tons of snow on her hair, she is panting with her hands on her knees looks very upset, and finally the thing that alarmed me most (she was bare foot, no shoes or socks) her feet were lobster red from the cold. I asked her if she was ok no wait………….first I said no coat? ( as a sort rhetorical question) she did not respond. Then I asked her if she was ok and she said yea, but I sensed it was sort of an automatic response and not one thought out or anything. She seemed to be very distant towards me not wanting to talk or anything.
Anyways I called campus police and they are investigating this, was I right to call the police? I was kindve hesitant about doing so but my roommates said I should.
Would you have done the same thing?

What's the worst she can do?
All you did was care for her.
She should be your bitch right now.

Just kidding, you did good Fraboy.

No harm done in helping someone you think may be in danger.
After all, nothing bad to you can happen for trying to help.

Right thing to do? Hell yeah! You should definitely follow your instincts about that kind of thing. And what Ruroshen said. It might have been fine, no big deal, but maybe not. You were there and you had the sense of it. Sometimes people have a hard time asking for help.

If you didn't, a rapist may have got away. I say you did the right thing.

I am not really sure why you would be in question whether that was right or not. What happened definitely wasn't normal even if these incidents hadn't been going around, you were in the right to call, better safe then sorry they always say.

well idk i figured its college and we all fool around sometimes and do stupid things, maybe she was just playing with her friends and got into an argument or something. I was afraid of making a big thing out of something that might have been nothing

You did absolutely the right thing.It's far better for you to have acted and maybe have read the situation wrong than for you not to act and be proven correct. I say good for you fella.
